If this thread already exists or this is discussed elswhere, please forgive me. I did a search but found nothing.
Anyway, did anyone of you notice any easter eggs and hints in this movie at all? I saw Iron Man 3 three times already, but I can't recall ANY easter egg comparable to all those precious painted rabbit droppings in Phase I. Am I just blind? Did I miss the obvious?

The doctor who operated on tony stark in the 1st movie makes a cameo in this

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

In addition to Jinsen being in the film, the prologue shows what he referred to in Iron Man:
Yinsen: We met once, you know, at a technical conference in Bern. Stark: I don't remember.
Yinsen: No, you wouldn't. If I had been that drunk, I wouldn't have been able to stand, much less give a lecture on integrated circuits.

at one point in the Malibu mansion Pepper says "you really need to do something about that wall" to which Tony replies "some guys are coming round tomorrow to knock it down" which foreshadows the attack on his house.

When Killian is showing Pepper his brain, he "accidentally"﻿ shows the view of the galaxy - it's the same exact view that was used in Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger (when the Red Skull opens the Tesseract). Maybe AIM has some interest in Thor and it'll be explained in The Dark World.

I just took that as "Our brain is as amazing and beautiful as the galaxy." However, that take is really interesting and it's entirely plausible AIM would have interest in that sort of stuff.

More like reusing old footage.

Great catch! And it's important because in the comics, AIM was the original creator of the Cosmic Cube, aka the Tesseract. Since seeing The Avengers I have speculated that the scientists Clint Barton recruited to help Dr. Selvig work on the Tesseract were in fact from AIM. There's no proof of that from the movie, but perhaps they were and that's why Killian had that particular map.
